"Simon Winchester, in ""The Surgeon of Crowthorne"", cites a specific number, defining quire as ""a booklet eight pages thick."" Several European words for quire keep the meaning of ""book of paper"": Ger. ""Buch von Papier"", Dan. ""bog papir"", Du. ""bock papier"". In blankbook binding, ""quire"" is a term indicating 80 pages. A ream of paper is a quantity of sheets of the same size and quality. International standards organizations define the ream as 500 identical sheets. This ream of 500 sheets (20 quires of 25 sheets) is also known as a 'long' ream, and is gradually replacing the old value"

A bale consists of 5 bundles, 10 reams or 200 quires. As an old UK and US measure, it was previously equal to 4800 sheets. Units of paper quantity Various measures of paper quantity have been and are in use. Although there are no S.I. units such as quires and bales, there are ISO and DIN standards for the ream. Expressions used here include U.S. Customary units. A quire of paper is"

As an old UK and US measure, it was previously equal to 960 sheets. When referring to chipboard, there are two standards in the US. In general, a package of approximately 50 pounds of chipboard is called a bundle. Thus, a bundle of 22 point chipboard (0.022"" thick) 24"" × 38"", with each sheet weighing 0.556 pounds, contains 90 sheets. However, chipboard sold in size 11"""
"paper weighs 5 pounds, because it has been cut from a larger sheet into four pieces. In the United States, printing paper is generally 20 lb, 24 lb, or 32 lb at most. Cover stock is generally 68 lb, and 110 lb or more is considered card stock. In Europe, and other regions using the ISO 216 paper sizing system, the weight is expressed in grammes per square metre (g/m or usually just g) of the paper. Printing paper is generally between 60 g and 120 g. Anything heavier than 160 g is considered card. The weight of a ream"

Sheet-fed presses are generally ""full sheet"" (28"" x 40""), ""half sheet"" (28"" x 19""), or ""quarter sheet"" (13"" x 19""). In offset printing, the first sheet costs more than the next 1,000. Gang-run printing allows multiple jobs to share the setup cost. For example, a 28"" x 40"" sheet can hold 9 4"" x 6"" at 5,000 or 18 2,500 postcards (each card takes 4.25"" x 6.25"" on the sheet to accommodate full bleed.

This last meaning is preserved in the modern Italian term for quire, ""quinterno di carta"".

"sheets (or two reams) will weigh , half of the four reams of cut paper resulting from the 20# basis ream of paper. Paper thickness, or caliper, is a common measurement specified and required for certain printing applications. Since a paper's density is typically not directly known or specified, the thickness of any sheet of paper cannot be calculated by any method. Instead, it is measured and specified separately as its caliper. However, paper thickness for most typical business papers might be similar across comparable brands. If thickness is not specified for a paper in question, it must be either"

Following Robert's successful model, built in 1798, Saint-Léger Didot insisted that Robert apply for a patent. Prior to 1798, paper was made one sheet at a time, by dipping a rectangular frame or mould with a screen bottom into a vat of pulp. The frame was removed from the vat, and the water was pressed out of the pulp. The remaining pulp was allowed to dry; the frame could not be re-used until the previous sheet"

The holes are usually rectangular in shape, to accommodate the plastic binding combs. Specialized punches are also used for the similar but incompatible coil binding process. There are office models available for the perforation of 1 to 150 sheets of paper, and industrial models for up to 470 sheets. Most multiple-hole and many single-hole punches accumulate the waste paper circles (chads) in a chamber, which must be periodically emptied in order to allow the continued operation of the"
"2-4 plies are used. The decor paper is the most critical of the lamination papers as it gives the visual appearance of the laminate. The impregnation resin and cellulose have about the same refraction index which means that the cellulose fibers of the paper appear as a shade and only the dyestuffs and pigments are visible. Due to this the decor paper demands extreme cleanness and is produced only on small paper machines with grammage 50 - 150 g/m. The overlay paper have grammage of 18 – 50 m and is made of pure cellulose, thus it must be made"

Typically, five of these folded sheets (10 leaves, or 20 printed pages) were combined to a single physical section, called a quinternion, that could then be bound into a book. Some sections, however, had as few as four leaves or as many as 12 leaves. Some sections may have been printed in a larger number, especially those printed later in the publishing process, and sold unbound. The pages were"

The paper is wound onto metal spools using a large cylinder called a ""reel drum"". Constant nip pressure is maintained between the reel drum and the spool, allowing the resulting friction to spin the spool. Paper runs over the top of the reel drum and is wound onto the spool to create a ""master roll"". To be able to keep the paper machine running continuously, the reel must be able to quickly switch from"
"Sheet of stamps A sheet of stamps or press sheet is a unit of stamps as printed, usually on large sheets of paper based on the size of the printing plate, that are separated into panes that are sold at post offices. Where more than one pane is on a printed sheet they are arranged in a table-like arrangement. The spaces between the single stamps are all of the same size and provide space for a cut or perforation. Today, a sheet of stamps is the most common way of arranging stamps on the impressed paper. The number of stamps"

From the paper machine reel, the paper is trimmed on a rereeler prior to being sent to two ten-roll Beloit supercalenders.

The missal is printed in ink on paper, with a leather binding, and it measures 34 by 24 cm. It was famous at the time it was printed because it was one of the first books printed in two colours. The missal contains 243 of its original 266 leaves and includes two full-page woodcuts coloured by hand; one depicts the Crucifixion"
"texts were beyond the typesetters' capacity to correct. The Folio was typeset and bound in ""sixes"" – 3 sheets of paper, taken together, were folded into a booklet-like quire or gathering of 6 leaves, 12 pages. Once printed, the ""sixes"" were assembled and bound together to make the book. The sheets were printed in 2-page formes, meaning that pages 1 and 12 of the first quire were printed simultaneously on one side of one sheet of paper (which became the ""outer"" side); then pages 2 and 11 were printed on the other side of the same sheet (the ""inner"" side)."

An alternative, and related, meaning of the word ""peel"" is a wooden pole with a smooth cross-piece at one end, which was used in printing houses of the hand-press period (before around 1850) to raise printed sheets onto a line to dry, and to take them down again once dried.

A newspaper roll's width is called its web width and is defined by how many front pages it can print. A full roll prints four front pages with four back pages behind it (two front and back on each of the two sections).

Because of this, most newspapers and publications are printed with page multiples of four. This creates a rather confusing arrangement of pages. For example, in a 16 page newspaper, which uses 4 sheets of paper, the pages are arranged as follows: These press sheets are known as printers pairs. In printers pairs the two pages that are next to each other should always add up to one more than the total number of pages in the finished product,"
